Galatians 1
Berean Standard BibleTranslation
Berean Standard Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Paul, an apostle—sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead—
1Paulus, Apostolus non ab hominibus, neque per hominem, sed per Jesum Christum, et Deum Patrem, qui suscitavit eum a mortuis:
2and all the brothers with me, To the churches of Galatia:
2et qui mecum sunt omnes fratres, ecclesiis Galatiæ.
3Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
3Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre, et Domino nostro Jesu Christo,
4who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
4qui dedit semetipsum pro peccatis nostris, ut eriperet nos de præsenti sæculo nequam, secundum voluntatem Dei et Patris nostri,
5to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
5cui est gloria in sæcula sæculorum. Amen.
6I am amazed how quickly you are deserting the One who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—
6Miror quod sic tam cito transferimini ab eo qui vos vocavit in gratiam Christi in aliud Evangelium:
7which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ.
7quod non est aliud, nisi sunt aliqui qui vos conturbant, et volunt convertere Evangelium Christi.
8But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be under a curse!
8Sed licet nos aut angelus de cælo evangelizet vobis præterquam quod evangelizavimus vobis, anathema sit.
9As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be under a curse!
9Sicut prædiximus, et nunc iterum dico: si quis vobis evangelizaverit præter id quod accepistis, anathema sit.
10Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
10Modo enim hominibus suadeo, an Deo? an quæro hominibus placere? si adhuc hominibus placerem, Christi servus non essem.
11For I certify to you, brothers, that the gospel I preached was not devised by man.
11Notum enim vobis facio, fratres, Evangelium, quod evangelizatum est a me, quia non est secundum hominem:
12I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
12neque enim ego ab homine accepi illud, neque didici, sed per revelationem Jesu Christi.
13For you have heard of my former way of life in Judaism, how severely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it.
13Audistis enim conversationem meam aliquando in Judaismo: quoniam supra modum persequebar Ecclesiam Dei, et expugnabam illam,
14I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries and was extremely zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
14et proficiebam in Judaismo supra multos coætaneos meos in genere meo, abundantius æmulator existens paternarum mearum traditionum.
15But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased
15Cum autem placuit ei, qui me segregavit ex utero matris meæ, et vocavit per gratiam suam,
16to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not rush to consult with flesh and blood,
16ut revelaret Filium suum in me, ut evangelizarem illum in gentibus: continuo non acquievi carni et sanguini,
17nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles who came before me, but I went into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.
17neque veni Jerosolymam ad antecessores meos Apostolos: sed abii in Arabiam, et iterum reversus sum Damascum:
18Only after three years did I go up to Jerusalem to confer with Cephas, and I stayed with him fifteen days.
18deinde post annos tres veni Jerosolymam videre Petrum, et mansi apud eum diebus quindecim:
19But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.
19alium autem Apostolorum vidi neminem, nisi Jacobum fratrem Domini.
20I assure you before God that what I am writing to you is no lie.
20Quæ autem scribo vobis, ecce coram Deo, quia non mentior.
21Later I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
21Deinde veni in partes Syriæ, et Ciliciæ.
22I was personally unknown, however, to the churches of Judea that are in Christ.
22Eram autem ignotus facie ecclesiis Judææ, quæ erant in Christo:
23They only heard the account: “The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.”
23tantum autem auditum habebant quoniam qui persequebatur nos aliquando, nunc evangelizat fidem, quam aliquando expugnabat:
24And they glorified God because of me.
24et in me clarificabant Deum.
